You know that Meilisearch is the way to go, right? Tantivy, even though, I love the product, doesn't support vector search. Its Hybrid search is stunningly good. You can try it on our demo [1].
why couldn't it be possible to just embed Meilisearch/Tantivy/Quickwit inside Postgres as a plugin to simplify the setup?

It would be simpler to keep Meilisearch and its key-value store out of Postgres' WAL and stuff and better propose a good SQL exporter (in the plan).
Perhaps on a technical level, but for a dev, if I just need to install Postgres and some plugins and, boom, I have a full searchable index, it's even easier
